Speaker James Broselow, MD

Position: Keynote Speaker

Biography

After graduating from Dartmouth College with honors in economics, Dr. Broselow obtained his medical degree from NJ College of Medicine and Dentistry and entered the field of family practice, in which he became board certified and practiced in Frankenmuth Michigan. He continued on to become board certified in Emergency Medicine. It was while working in the emergency department of a community hospital in Hickory, North Carolina, that he recognized how difficult and stressful it was for him and his team to care for acutely ill or injured children. He has conducted original research concerning the correlation between length and weight in children, from which the “Broselow Tape” was born.

He has worked with Dr. Allen Hinkle on the Broselow-Hinkle organizer and co-developed the Broselow tape and subsequent Broselow-Luten System with Robert Luten, MD . He has recently taken a position on the faculty of the University of Florida so that he can work more closely with Dr. Luten as they continue to develop their pediatric patient safety system. Currently, he is the Medical Director of PPAG's Artemis Safety Initiative.

Through his numerous and significant innovations in pediatric care, the Broselow name has become one of the most widely recognized in the field of emergency medicine.
